"Get rid of the corruption in Elmwood Place, court systems, police department, and Elmwood would be a much better place to live," said Mike Turner, who's handing out T-shirts he printed up to protest the village's policies.

He printed up more than 100 of the shirts and handed them out, and now he's got another 100 on order.

"I've had people try to buy the shirts, (but) they're not for sale – I'm passing them out free," Turner said.

A driver for his towing service got a reckless operation ticket from an officer, and Turner felt it was undeserved.

The protest might not have gone this far if not for the speed cameras, which helped spark mistrust between residents and the village.

"You have the people who are addicted to the money and addicted to the system against the people who are victimized," said State Rep. Dale Mallory.

Mallory is working on state legislation to ban the use of speed cameras, which should prove popular.

"I'm not the only one, there's other ones out here," Turner said. "I probably am the loudest."
